I have a recipe for a hopped cider (I think it came originally from Jim's beerkit forum)
The question I have is:
How does the following translate into BIAB terms?
"Directions for brewing
steep the 60L and torrified wheat in .75 gallons of water @ 155 degrees for 30 mins.
Sparge with .25 gallons 170 degree water and throw away grains.
Add DME and bring to a boil.
Add hops when boiling starts and boil for 30 mins."
Sorry if this is a daft question, but I've only done kits before.
Thanks in anticipation, texteditor.

texteditor,
I think it sounds "Normal"? since this is a kit. For BIAB we (I) would mash the grain for at least 60 minuets at 155. Raise the temp to 170 for 10 minuets. Pull the grain out to squeeze, drain or whatever to get the last drop out. Bring the wort to a boil and add back in the last (squeezing's). Boil vigorously for *10 minuets add the hops and boil for 60 minuets. The rest is the same for all brewing.
*With a normal all grain I would boil the mash for 30 minuets and then add the bittering hops and boil for 60 more. 90 minuets total. But I think that since you are using DME you might not need to? One of the things I like the best about BIAB is I can just turn on the propane to raise the temperature when I need a little heat! Good luck and if you need further help just ask!

Also, you would probably forget about the DME addition and just add extra Pale Malt to the BIAB
